Understand that you will always come across negative people. Those who do not have empathy, cannot put themselves in other peoples shoes, who want control and power.

It is how you deal with them that will effect the effect they have on you.

If you feel that you have to change or fix them you will run into trouble.

If you buy into the drama and chaos you will run into trouble.

Some of the red flags are feeling like you are on a roller coaster, guilt, fear and obligation, feeling like you cannot be yourself or that you have to walk on eggshells, that you feel bad for no reason, feeling tired or drained.

Know that you do not have to keep dealing with these types of people if you do not want to.

Sometimes it can seem exciting at first.

Sometimes it feels that you are hypnotized and cannot leave or you keep going back.

Understand that at the end of the day, you are the only one who will get hurt.

Understand that at the end of the day, you will be thrown off course and out of alignment with who you are.

It is up to you to protect yourself.

If you want all the wonderful things in life, we would suggest avoiding these people or if you must deal with them, have strong boundaries.

Understand that this is how those types of people decided to come into this world and they cannot be fixed or changed because at the end of the day, there is nothing wrong with them, that is just who they are.

The more you respect that, the easier things will be.

The more you recognize these types of people, the easier life will be.

Know that you do not have to keep playing the games and feeling bad or trapped.

Know that that control is just an illusion.

You remove yourself by removing yourself.

You will always run into people like this. The waitress, the husband, the friend, the co-worker etc.
